 === Romance with Jenny ===
-Eventually, Thymon's long-distance friendship with [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] blossomed into an unexpected romance. One day, Jenny materialised in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], surprising [[Pythagoras-858]], and revealed to him that she was here to meet with Thymon.

+Eventually, Thymon's long-distance friendship with [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] blossomed into an unexpected romance. One day, Jenny materialised in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], surprising [[Pythagoras-858]], and revealed to him that she was here to meet with Thymon. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Shift in Relationships (comic story)|A Shift in Relationships]]'') They went on five subsequent dates. On the seventh of their dates, the two went on a “scenic jaunt” along the shore of the [[Chronon Sea]]. Returning to the [[Cupid Homeworld]] together, they had dinner for two in the Great Hall of [[Lord Thymon's house|Thymon's house]]. After the meal, they suggested, half in jest, that he take her up to his bedroom; though this was his first time engaging in such activities with a human, he agreed, to her surprise, and ended the day on that enjoyable note, falling asleep together in Thymon's bed.
+The next morning, Jenny woke up later than Thymon, whom she found already preparing breakfast, having set aside [[star whale]] [[star whale butter|butter]] to go on her [[toast]], to her delight. However, their breakfast plans were derailed by the appearance of a strange little girl with blue, tentacle-like hair and glowing eyes, who they quickly deduced was the daughter they'd conceived that very night, who'd shifted back in time to meet them. Dipping into [[the Infinite]] for a few minutes to talk privately, they agreed on a name, [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|Sophie Everytime]], and settled on a plan to take opportunity of this event to introduce the time-shifted child to their respective loved ones in advance.
+With Sophie agreeing to the plan, the trio visited Jenny's comet partner from the [[659433585786388480th Universe]], [[Comet Theta]]. Next up was Thymon's sibling [[Squire Psykha]], who was much less pleased with the news, harshly judging their brother for neglecting his duties as an [[Embodiment]] in favour of “cavorting with the flesh”, and refusing to recognise Sophie as family. At Sophie's suggestion, they then visited another one of Jenny's partners, [[Pixie Pristine]], in [[Universe A (Family Business)|another universe]]. After visiting her in her dressing room, they attended and greatly enjoyed the [[fae]]-turned-pop-star's concert.
+As Sophie was getting tired, Jenny and Thymon agreed to only visit one more person — Thymon's sister [[Lady Spatium]] — before heading home for the night. However, their [[shift]] was highjacked by [[Jenny Nowhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Nowhere]], who transported them to [[Nowhere Island]] in the [[9768761143th Universe]]; she drew Sophie apart from Thymon and Jenny, directly imprisoning the girl in her [[Castle of Nowhere]] in the centre of the island while Jenny and Thymon fell into the literal [[Black Sea (Family Business)|Black Sea]] that surrounded it. Jenny divested herself of her shoes in an effort not to sink, but quickly lost consciousness, and had to be carried to shore and revived by Thymon. Finding that their powers weren't working, the two set out into the gray forest ahead.
+Eventually, they found another old friend, [[Jimmy Anytime (38167th Universe)|Jimmy Anytime]], who'd been trapped for days in a pit mockingly signposted by a literal signpost reading ‘DROP IN ANYTIME’. Anytime informed them that Jenny Nowhere was behind this and joined them as they continued their quest. Further inland, they were confronted with a boiling lake concealing a huge, mechanical [[Lava Drake]]. Deducing that the inscription identifying the [[mechanoid]] as such must be a mocking riddle just like the ‘Anytime’ one, Jenny was able to climb onto the robot — though she sustained some burns which she relied on Thymon's burns to heal once it was downed — and alter the inscription to “Laura Drake”, causing the robot to deactivate itself and its chest-panel to slide open to revealed the trapped [[Laura Drake (38167th Universe)|Laura Drake]]. Jenny freed her, and Laura explained that although she built the Lava Drake herself as the “[[Mark I Draconic Exosuit]]”, she wasn't in control during the preceding fight, with Nowhere having stolen and hacked the robot before intercepting one of Laura's “[[transport beam]]s”, bringing her here, and trapping her inside the suit as a power source instead of a pilot.
+After rejoining Jimmy and Thymon and introducing Thymon and Laura to one another, Jenny continued her journey, finding one final party-member, [[Jenny Over-There]], tied to a tree with a signpost pointing in her direction, reading simply “OVER THERE”. Using her powers as [[the Finder]], Over-There was able to confirm that Sophie was trapped in Nowhere's Castle and to point the group in the right direction. They found their way there, and, since the castle was at the top of a foreboding mountain, Thymon used his time-acceleration powers to level the mountain, turning it into so much dust. Though displeased by this development, Nowhere invited the heroes into her Great Hall before shifting chains onto the humans and trapping Thymon in a [[Prism]]. After going over her history at Over-There's insistence, she explained her plan to use a modified version of the [[Dimensional Consciousness Maximizer]], now called the [[Identity Dispersal System]], to forcibly connect ''Sophie'' to the deleterious telepathic networks of Jenny Nowheres, erasing her identity and turning her into just another Jenny Nowhere in revenge for the part Nowhere felt Jenny had played in turning her sister into Nowhere.
+Nowhere activated the machine, but it did not work as expected due to Sophie's self-confidence, bolstered by her parents' love throughout the day, far exceeding Nowhere's angst-ridden strength of character. While Nowhere's mind took over Sophie's body, Sophie's own mind, instead of being erased, took possession of Nowhere's vacant one. Breaking down crying due to the combination of her failure and of this new body's immature brain chemistry, Nowhere-in-Sophie's-body agreed to switch back after Sophie volunteered the knowledge her original name back to her (having, in her past but the relative future, been told by Jenny and Thymon, who remembered these events, to travel back in [[meta-time]] to find it out). During her time in the Nowhere psychic network, Sophie had realised the reason that none of the adults' powers were working right on the Island: Nowhere Island was itself an incarnation of Jenny Nowhere, despite not really being sentient in a conventional sense, and her aura was cancelling out theirs. Thus, they realised that they simply had to build a boat and row out far enough from the shores.
+After dropping Over-There, Jimmy and Laura home, Jenny and Thymon finally returned to the Cupid Homeworld with Sophie. Upset to have missed a day at the office, Thymon was shifted back in time to the morning by Sophie, who then hugged Jenny one more time before returning to her own time-zone.
